I HOWEVER HAVE NOTED NUMEROUS RECALLS FOR OTHER VEHICLES MANUFACTURED IN JAPAN FOR AIR BAGS INCLUDING SENTRAS MULTIPLE MANUFACTURERS HAD SAME AIR BAG SYSTEMS A DISGRACE THIS ISSUE IS KNOWN HOWEVER IT IS LEFT TO THE DISCRETION OF THE CORPORATION TO VOLUNTARILY RECALL WHAT IS THE PURPOSE OF NHTSA I THOUGHT IT WAS TO INSURE CORPORATE MV MANUFACTURERS TO COMPLY WITH SAFETY FOR THE PEOPLE /ENFORCE SAFETY ISSUE COMPLIANCE. *TR

AIR BAGS

I AM EXTREMELY CONCERNED WITH WHAT I'M INTERPRETING AS TO REPORTING OF EWR & SAFETY RECALLS MANDATES HERE IN THE USA I PRAY I MISINTERPRETED THE DOCUMENTS COULD THIS BE RIGHT RE.... REPAIRS FOR COMPLAINTS ONLY REPORTABLE IF PAID FOR UNDER WARRANTY / MANUFACTURER X SUPPLIED PARTS FOR VEHICLES IN THE USA BUT IDENTICAL VEHICLES NOT SOLD HERE EVEN THOUGH PART X IS IN USA VEHICLES & WAS RECALLED ELSEWHERE ARE NOT REPORTABLE HERE & THE #S OF DEATHS PERTAINING TO PARTS/ VEHICLES ARE NOT INCLUDED ? UNLESS THEY MEET A CERTAIN # QUARTERLY RETROSPECTIVE TO THE LAST 9 YEARS EVEN IF THEY DO IN FACT MEET THE #S BUT ARE TITLED UNDER A SUBSIDIARY OF THE SAME VEHICLE/MANUFACTURER/&/OR PART PLEASE TELL ME I AM MISINTERPRETING THESE ISSUES WHICH APPEAR TO CONTRADICT NPRM GUIDELINES SECONDARY TO THESE REPORTING GUIDELINES I PRAY I HAVE INCORRECTLY INTERPRETED PLEASE CLARIFY. *TR

AIR BAGS,SEAT BELTS,STRUCTURE

NISSAN/INFINITI -ISSUES IM SICKENED WHEN WILL ANYTHING BE DONE WITH THE KNOWN PROBLEMS WITH NISSAN NORTH AMERICA VEHICLES -WHY HAS NOTHING BEEN DONE! EG..AIRBAGS,SEATBELTS, STRUCTURE,STEERING,BRAKE SYSTEMS,ACCELERATION PROBLEMS,ELECTRICAL,FIRES,SEATS,ROLLOVERS,& NUMEROUS VALID SAFETY ISSUES NISSAN HAS EXTREMELY LOW RECALLS &/OR ACKNOWLEDGEMENT OF THESE NUMEROUS CONSUMER COMPLAINTS DESPITE RECALLS FOR SIMILAR ISSUES IN FOREIGN COUNTRIES *** CONSUMERS PLEASE NOTE THE FIRST LETTER OF YOUR VIN # REPRESENTS --- THE LOCATION WHERE YOUR VEHICLE WAS MANUFACTURED EG J= JAPAN AS PER DMV I WOULD ASSUME #S REFLECT PARTS FROM MORE THAN 1 LOCATION UPON MUCH INVESTIGATION I SEE IGNORANCE OF THE REPORTED PROBLEMS & CORRECTION OF THESE PROBLEMS I LOOKED INTO EWR (EARLY WARNING REPORTS????)INFO 4 NISSAN & SEE NUMEROUS INJURY/DEATH REPORTS RELATING TO ISSUES PREVIOUSLY LISTED HOWEVER THE COMPLAINTS DON'T REFLECT RECALLS OR SAFETY BULLETINS WHY??????? I DON'T EVEN SEE MY DISABLING INJURY REFLECTED WHY????? WHO WOULD EVEN KNOW 2 LOOK AT EWR INFORMATION YOU WOULD HOPE THAT THESE #S WOULD REFLECT AT LEAST SERVICE BULLETINS &/OR SAFETY RECALLS HOWEVER MUCH OF THIS IS DONE ON AN OPTIONAL BASIS OF THE MANUFACTURER UNLESS MANDATED BY THE NHTSA IN THE INTERIM IT IS THE CONSUMERS WHO SUFFER DISGRACEFULLY TO SAY THE LEAST!!!!!!! *TR

ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING,ELECTRICAL SYSTEM

THERE IS A RECALL ON 2002, 2005-2006 NISSAN SENTRAS & ALTIMAS WITH THE SENSOR. THE CAR CAN SHUT DOWN WITHOUT WARNING AND ENGINE STALL. MY CAR IS A 1999 NISSAN SENTRA WITH THE SAME PROBLEM AND THEY WON'T FIX IT BECAUSE OF THE WRONG YEAR. REGARDLESS OF THE YEAR IT SHOULD BE FIXED OR I SHOULD RECEIVE SOME KIND OF COMPENSATION. LUCKILY WHEN I WAS DRIVING AND MY CAR SHUT DOWN I WASN'T HIT FROM THE BACK. I AM LOOKING TO FILE A LAW SUIT OVER THIS MATTER BECAUSE I SPENT MY MONEY ON THIS CAR BUYING IT BRAND NEW AND THIS ORGANIZATION JUST SHOVED ME OFF LIKE MY PROBLEM DOESN'T MATTER. I USE MY CAR AND NOW I AM WITHOUT A CAR AND CATCHING THE BUS. IT'S NOT FAIR! IT'S THEIR CAR!*CN
